About this ebook
Not every potential or existing boatowner wants to spend every last
penny getting or staying afloat. Alastair Buchan brings a wealth of
first hand experience of where sensible economies can be made in order to cap
costs and as a result extend your cruising options. He looks at the
major areas of expenditure, such as boat purchase,
mooring fees, navigation equipment, electronics, antifouling,
maintenance, dinghies, outboard engines, safety gear etc. and examines
the range of options available to keep costs under control - and
therefore keep owners still on the water. The book contains
tables of comparisons (in price ranges) and suggests a
variety of practical ways of reducing expenditure without curtailing
enjoyment!
This is a unique guide which will be welcomed by potential and existing boat owners alike.
